verse 1
He's the deflated balloon wrapped around your gate
Cut priced to clear a past to ?sell by a date?
He'll be fool running through the church screaming out ?it's not too late?
When he does, I know that you'll wait
verse 2
He's the drunk man with bad breath coming on too strong
He's the beauty queen that strings your heart along
And he'll answer every question in your new-age magazine wrong
But I know you love him strong
So I'm leaving for there's nothing to believe in
I'm just grieving for a love I never knew
Please don't go misreading me
I'm not saying you?ve been misleading me
Just not needing me the way that I need you
verse 3
He's the elephant in the room that never speaks
But you dream about him every two weeks
( =Strum Once)
I wouldn't know his name, but you call it in your sleep
Oh I know you love him deep
Bridge
So run back to him like you should
I guess I always knew that you would
For he's captured your heart in a way I never could
So go on and love him good
So I'm leaving for there's nothing to believe in
I'm just craving for a love I never knew
You're the book I can't stop reading the stray cat you keep feeding
I'm the stray cat you've been feeding
But the tides are receding that it's true
So please don't go misreading me
I'm not saying you?ve been misleading me,
Just not needing me the way that I need you
Just not needing me the way that I need you
